Knowing your Audience

As a writer it is very important to know who your audience is. Knowing your audience is the first thing you should find out when you write a paper because knowing your audience will determine if what you are writing or how you are writing will make since to whoever you are writing for. I always had a problem with papers because I did not know who I was writing it for. I wrote my papers as if I was just writing it to my instructor. My instructor would see that I have a good paper but to many different languages that would reflect on different audience. I never knew what the teacher was talking about when they told me to indentify who I was writing the paper to. I thought they were talking as if I was writing it to one of my fellow class mates and to pick one. I learned recently how difficult it is when you write a paper and it is not meant for you it is harder to understand. I was in the ICC studio where I had my paper read. One and Done was the title it’s about college basketball rule, the instructor that read it liked the paper but wasn’t in love with the title because stated who would know about one and done unless I elaborated on it. I told my papers audience was college basketball fans that want to see the rule change she instantly knew what I was going for and said my paper made more since know because it wasn’t for people that are not in to sports.

Dr Wilson has been studding this situation of books being absolute for some time his opinion is “Books have been supplanted by computers and hand –held video players as a source of mobile entertainment, resulting in the decline of reading for pleasure. The digital revolution has wrought changes at least as important as the printing pass. The early 1980’s saw a technical revolution that may have changed the pictures today” (Wilson). In the 21 century most of the youth today’s does not like to read books. Reading has become absolute because all of the technology around when I was young the only major distraction was T.V. and maybe video games. Now you have computers that are way advance now growing up people did not be on the computer all day, they did what they had to do and got off, now you have face book and twitter and other programs that keep this younger generation occupied. Just to keep up with technology people have tried to make stuff to make reading fun and to get the young ones interested in reading but so far that has failed with a lot of the younger generation. The only thing that the young people like to read is face book statuses and twit updates and taxing between each other. The question is what will happen to reading if this happens how will it become interesting? Will it become interesting again, will the younger generation start to get back into reading like my mother loved it when she was young. As we go on in life things are really starting to get high-tech will reading really become absolute?

Writing

Growing up before I knew how to type a little I use to hate writing papers especially when it had to be longer than two papers. I use to look at it like a punishment as like I had to write lines. When I was force to type a paper I would write it first than type it. That method was hard for me because first I would lose my place and it would take time for me to find it and next I could not type to save my life. I hit the key one at a time so you know it took me a long time to do a paper and knowing me I wait to the last minute to do it. The big problem came later because if I had a four page paper on paper but when I put on the computer it would be a two page paper, I would think I did a good job but then I still have more work to do and for a while my mind would be blank and I can’t say I’ll get some more information tomorrow in school because when I finally typed it, it’s due the next day I am all messed up. I seem to get through it after a while but look at what I went through and usually get a “C” or “B-” not my best I would happy but my mom never likes to see my settle for less. Now I have another lecture coming should of did it right from the beginning
